DIY : Detachable Peterpan Collar

First of all, this week I don't post any outfit post simply because I just stay at home everyday. My holiday is so boring here and I'm gonna return to Jakarta as soon as possible. I'll finish my school registration first and once everything's solved, I will stay in Jakarta.

Peterpan collar is trending nowadays, and I tried to make one last month but just have a chance to post it on my blog today. It's very easy to be made and these are the steps:

Materials :

1. A piece of paper

2. White felt

3. Pencil

4. Scissors

5. Hook

6. Glue

7. Needle and thread

8. Pearls (to decorate)

1. Fold the paper

2. Draw the template on the folded side of the paper. (there's not particular measurement. just draw the size you want. Make sure the diameter of the neck part isn't too small)

4. Cut it

5. It'll look like this . Before you make the real collar in felt, try the template and make sure whether it fits you or not. (I apologize for my round face)

6. Draw the template on white felt. (fold the felt first exactly like what you did to the paper)

7. After you've done, cut it again

8. Sew the hook at the corner of the collar (sew the back side (the side that has the pencil line))

9. Ta-daaah! Now you've made a plain detachable peterpan collar

9. You may decorate the plain collar using pearls. This time I used pearl necklace because it's be more practical. It'd waste more time and glue ,and the collar will turn out messy if you glue the pearls one by one. There'd be lesser chance for the pearls to fall off too if you use pearl necklace. (I hope you get what I mean)

10. Here's the result. It's not really great but if you can't find any shop that sell detachable collar, you can make yourself one with low budget. Hope this tutorial is clear enough and useful for you. You may contact me through formspring if you have any question. I'll try my best to answer it :)
